B2Ai architects’ Post

Architects are, in a way, the Swiss knives of the built environment! 😅 Our training allows us to develop a great set of skills that are transferrable to many other professions. In this video, I give some examples of alternatives careers for Architects split by 4 categories. #architect #alternativecareers #alternativecareersinarchitecture #careers #jobs #architecture #builtenvironment

When looking for a new job in the field of Architecture, here are some absolute top tip, "must do's" if you are to increase your chances of getting your CV and profile noticed here on LinkedIN... 👉 Add “open to relocation” on your profile on Linkedin. Recruiters will often just search by postcode and then a distance from that postcode. Adding open to relocation will help you get found! 👉 When posting that you are open to work, add other area's that you are targeting to help you be seen in additional searches! LinkedIN will allow 5 Cities to be added to your criteria. 👉 If there is one city you are looking to move to, i.e London, then change your location to London so you are seen in all London searches. 👉 Once you have done all these things, visit ArchitectureVogue.com and select the "view all jobs"tab then create a "job alert" and let the vacancies come to your inbox!

Being a star architect means pushing boundaries and inspiring with grand visions. But being a good architect means understanding people, spaces, and the lasting impact of our designs on communities. The true measure of success is in the balance between innovation and responsibility. 🌟🏛️ #Architecture #Design #Sustainability #Innovation

🏗 I had the privilege of speaking with 12 sole practitioners yesterday evening about BURNOUT in architecture. 👉🏼 What causes burnout in architecture.👈🏼 👉🏼 Signs of burnout in architecture.👈🏼 👉🏼 Tactics to prevent burnout in architecture.👈🏼 It was an interesting challenge for me because I typically consult with mid-size architecture firms or organizations. I initially thought the burnout causes, signs, and prevention tactics would be very different than architects working in traditional firms. My findings? There are slight nuances like the example listed below, but overall, it was a humbling reminder that whether you are working for a firm of 2,000 in one of the largest cities in the world or a sole practitioner from the office of their residence....we are all individuals who are facing similar challenges, similar obstacles, and some would say....similar opportunities. Example: Sole Practitioner 👉🏼 need to get out of the home office. Traditional Architect 👉🏼 need to get out of the office office. Lesson: No matter the size of firm, let's continue to support one another. #architecture #architects #stressmanagement #AEC

Why is everyone an “architect” nowadays? It started years ago in technology but there are now change architects, content architects and even inclusive cultural architects. This week’s @thetimes column on pretentious job titles which risk become ever more meaningless. And if your job title is meaningless, maybe your job is too… And why does the London offices of Teneo, a public relations company, have 108 managing directors, of whom 66 are “senior managing directors”? https://lnkd.in/epQijkvf #architect #changearchitect #contentarchitect

Relocating to a different country can present unique challenges for architects, regardless of our work experience or education level. As soon as we make the move, we are faced with a new reality that often involves adapting to unfamiliar practices, codes, and standards, as well as building new professional networks. This video explores the experiences of myself and hundreds of other architects who have moved to Western countries and faced these challenges. By sharing our insights, we aim to shed light on the realities of transitioning as an architect in a new country and offer guidance to others embarking on similar journeys. #architecture #architectureeducation #movingabroad https://lnkd.in/eRkPeNDq

Architectural principals, how do you treat your juniors in the workplace? I got these ideas from Szuchan, S. When you micromanage your junior architects, you... ⏺️ Damage trust ⏺️ Stifle creativity ⏺️ Dampen morale ⏺️ Increase burnout ⏺️ Maximise turnover ⏺️ Amplify stress level ⏺️ Trim communication ⏺️ Harm decision-making ...all while achieving nothing substantial. 😆 Why is this approach still prevalent in architectural practice and academia? Alternatively, why not try this: ✅ Criticise privately ✅ Offer ample time off ✅ Celebrate wins publicly ✅ Allow flexible work modes ✅ Streamline communication ✅ Compensate fairly and willingly ✅ Value and implement their input ✅ Ensure work-life balance is a priority Above all, cultivate an environment of openness, respect, and minimal drama. You are thinking about what you will gain? Jubilant, more innovative, and highly productive junior architects... ...with remarkable staff retention rates. 🥇 Why not think of this? If you like this, share, comment and post to your network. #architect #architecture #workplace
